Another consolidation event in the CPG brokerage industry... 🙄 As brands today are seeking high-value strategic broker partners who can provide significant customer expertise and more importantly the ability and the capacity to deliver on expectations, we continue to see the large national brokerage firms march down the path of consolidation - a direction that over the last decade has proven to push brands *away* from this model and towards more customer-focused, best-in-market brokers. I, for one, welcome our consolidated broker overlords.... One thing I know for certain is that brands want (and need) a broker they can trust; a partner that can help solve pain-points and remove the obstacles impeding their growth - a broker that will fight for their business everyday as if it were their own. but what do I know 🤷♂️

Over the years, I've been blessed to work with many amazing companies and people. Yet, working side-by-side with Sidnee Schaefer has always stood out. We've achieved remarkable things together in our nearly decade of working together. We've jointly served incredible brands and had a variety of working relationships, including me being Sidnee's client during the hyper-growth of Handled. It's always been about trust and growth. ANNOUNCEMENT That's why I'm thrilled to announce my new role as Partner and Chief Revenue Officer at Schaefer. Buying into the long-term goals of Schaefer isn't about titles or positions; it's a deep commitment to a shared vision. Schaefer's focus on revenue generation and holistic growth resonates with my core beliefs about business. This partnership marks a pivotal moment in my career, and I couldn't be more honored. With the team at Schaefer, I'm eager to drive unprecedented growth for our clients and shape the future of revenue generation through a holistic approach to marketing and sales. We've already seen triple-digit growth this year! SCHAEFER LOAM As I develop Schaefer's revenue systems, I'll still assist business owners with coaching and an awesome team at Loam. Many Loam clients also benefit from Schaefer's expertise to boost leads, sales, and business value. Creating even more value for business owners who want a holistic approach to building a sellable business. Here's to the next chapter! 🥂 #NewBeginnings #GrowthMinded #RevenueGeneration #SchaeferJourney

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the #AMAwards this evening. Good luck to everyone nominated, and if you’re keen to discuss all things #carwow #stocksourcing, #qualifiedleads #newcarleads, #usedcarleads, or equally you just want a blether and a drink- whether it’s a green tea or something a bit more punchy…come find me at table 47 far left against the wall. I’m with the lovely people from #CapHpi!(thank you) #Inchcape, #Lloydsgroup #Vertu and industry expert/guru and all round great guy - Cliff Deller-Consultant at Orchid Automotive Limited It’s a day, maybe two, for some out of the office to go to these types of events, and certainly not everyone’s bag- but it’s important to celebrate success and congratulate the best in the industry. Mingle, share ideas, and share intros to your connections for future collaborations …but let’s not forget it can be an opportunity for some much needed relaxation and a rare chance to unwind. In the motor trade, it’s early starts and late nights, we put our body on the line for our companies, constantly pursuing improvement, chasing deadlines and seemingly impossible targets, stressing a lot, and often sweating the small stuff- it’s easy to get caught up in it- EVERTHING is urgent- but sometimes we need to take a step back and a deep breath. It’s an incredibly fast paced industry that attracts winners, mastery is super important to them, people that naturally put that pressure on themselves to always perform and be the very best. It’s probably why it’s littered with ex pro athletes for example. I love this quote- it’s hung up in the office in my house. Hopefully it resonates, and makes an impression with some of you. Whether your at the awards or in the office- have a fabulous day!
